Laptops are still manufactured to this day,! Retail establishments are perfectly entitled to alienate any customers they wish, If I owned a restaurant I would refuse entry to Kids, and insist on payment in cash

I have not used a laptop for years.

I was not suggesting a ban on smart phones , I was suggesting that maybe a ban on the "digital substitutes for partnered sex" might be looming,

To suggest that preventing people indulging in that sort of behaviour might crash the world economy is clearly ridiculous, the number of people actually "conducting business" or any other useful activity on their smart phones is minute compared to those indulging in less savoury activities

Is this like code for beating off? The Internet proves not all Japanese women are virgins.

which one is " Susan Raquel Harris" I don't recall that user name,

That covers 3 of its 9 usernames. It's the brain dead muppet that follows me around, sniffing my arse like a horny puppy. Scroll back a bit. Shouldn't be hard to pinpoint.

It's possible that AI and robotic innovations will reduce the need for excess manpower - but mainly the wealthy will have access to implement it. For now, the skill sets of average Thai workers is quite low. And that doesn't appear to be changing. The education system remains anachronystic - the 'rote' method where students just memorize things to pass a test without really knowing the meaning of what they are learning, nor how to apply it in the real world. Simple arithmetic skills are clearly lacking too - even though they are more or less learned by rote (example: you go to the market, buy fruit for 50 baht using 100 baht note. Almost all traders need to use their calculator to figure out your change). As this mass, largely poor, demographic ages, they will not be able to afford private health care (or insurance) and will rely more heavily on the state hospitals and SSO. With fewer youth workers available, the government's resources will be really stretched. Entire industries and sectors that rely on youth as customers will dry up as the downward spiral continues.

You know I don't think the downward spiral to consumerism is necessarily a bad thing. But it does cost jobs.

Maybe the Thai bar girls have made a statement, no condom no boom boom. Which suggests that bare backing is a thing of the past.

There are dozens of them like that on here these days, I have a few obsessively following me, I consider every thumbs down emoji and every negative comment i receive from them to be a positive, Go on give me a clue like the total number of letters in their username , and a few letters from it , like a game of "hangman", we might even share the same stalker I bet I can soon guess who it is

with the introduction of AI & robots, its about time to cut down population world wide with no bad effects
